Florida Wildlife Corridor map
DeSantis chose the Disney Wilderness Preserve in Osceola County for the ceremonial signing of the Florida Wildlife Corridor Act. It is considered a national model in efforts to preserve migration paths for animals.
Earlier this year, state lawmakers doubled funding for the Florida Forever land conservation program to $100 million. They also agreed to put $300 million from federal stimulus funding toward land conservation. This bill encourages much of the money to go to purchasing links in the wildlife corridor, providing a continuous path for animals to migrate.
During Monday s ceremonial bill signing, Gov. Ron DeSantis said during the last two years, the state has acquired nearly 70,000 acres through Florida Forever - more than the previous four years combined.
